Dinner at the hotel that night - I was curious about their version of bebek betutu - a Balinese dish where duck is covered in herbs and spices and then steamed and/or cooked in an oven for hours....  the hotel's was more like a kind of curry:

The duck was tender, served with a "spicy vegetable salad"

 

we also had some limeaids

and my wife had the tuna with sambal matah again (unpictured but just scroll up).  We probably also got the shrimp chips, but I wasn't so keen on the photography as I still wasn't feeling well.

 

The next morning was supposed to be the day that we would tour the island a bit and maybe see a couple waterfalls that are about 2 hours drive away, but I was still coughing and nose running and we didn't think it would be fair to a driver to be trapped in a car with that!!!  So we stayed in the hotel and just relaxed, willing myself to feel better before we head to Jakarta for a couple days where I had a lot of stuff planned.

 

Breakfast was the waffle with chocolate sauce and 2 eggs any style.

 

Lunch:

 

In keeping with the "trying to get better" - what better than chicken soup?

my wife had a grilled chicken wrap (you can see it kinda).

 

For dinner, we started with the aromatic beef salad:

I think the slivers were jicama and the dressing was quite sweet.

 

My wife then got the, wait for it....  grilled tuna with sambal matah and I tried
